So the Super Bowl is Sunday. And Super Tuesday arrives a couple of days later. Some media folks are calling our national primary day ‘Super Duper Tuesday’. Gee whiz, that sounds important!
Paraphrasing something someone once said, ‘we deserve the government we get’.
Getting back to the four hours of marketing on Sunday evening, I have no favorite team, though it would be nice for the hometown to come out on top. Mr. Manning and Mr. Brady seem like nice enough fellows, the type of goofy jocks who sat a couple of rows behind you in 8th grade study hall. Mr. Plaxico Burruss fascinates me only because I don’t think I’ve ever heard of anyone named Plaxico. Not trying to be mean, but Plaxico sounds like a multinational corporation that sells petroleum-based mouthwash. Anyway, he’s been in the news over the last few days for predicting a rather low-scoring Giants win on Sunday.
And another thing… about New York City sports fans... when their team wins they don’t jump in the car and ride up and down the streets, maniacally honking and screaming like they do in places like Philly. It’s nice to win, but not nice to lose a parking space in New York City. Here, team spirit has its limits, and I like that.
I’m not sure who’s performing at half time, but do I know that Ms. Paula Abdul is threatening to ‘sing’ at some point. Since Miss J. Jackson debuted a single (ahem, cough) once at the Super Bowl, ex-Jackson choreographer Paula will be on her best behavior. And as a way of getting us in the mood, here’s HER new single:
Paula Abdul – Dance Like There’s No Tomorrow
And now an open letter to P.A.:
Dear Ms. Abdul,
Just heard your single. And you know what? It’s not 1989 anymore.
All the Best,
The People of Earth.

Paula definitely needs to get into the 21st Century and retire on the cash she didn't spend on blow.
On the New York Sports fans not honking and going crazy, they may not do that in mid-town but they were going nuts in the Bronx when the Yanks won the pennant in 03....
alright rant done...Go Giants!
What? You folks don't riot, flip cars, and burn shit when your team wins a championship? Well, maybe college sports really are different..
UCONN BASKETBALL 2004!!! BURN SHIT!!!
I tried, but I couldn't listen to the whole thing. That is a new single? Sigh.... Tom Petty was the half time act...and well, Tom Petty is Tom Petty, but he's starting to show his age a bit. Those Superbowl organizers need to get over nipplegate and actually put on a good (and relevant) half time show one of these years.
The '80s called. They want their... no, I don't think there's ANYTHING that anyone would want back about that single. Well maybe for her to say it was a joke and TAKE IT BACK!
It must have been an exciting day for Giants fans last week. I like what you said about the parking spaces. People used to do that in Barcelona too, SO annoying.
